This RNS CONFIRMS high-grade, mine-ready mineralisation right where they need it. Today’s RNS is genuinely important and very bullish when you strip it back.

Key takeaways:

Gold grades confirmed:

Surface trenching returned grades up to 19.5 g/t and around 10 g/t average in near-mine samples — comfortably economic for underground mining.

Historic data validated:

Results directly confirm and match the St Elias work (2004–2014). That removes a major risk and gives confidence the historic grades were real.

Close to existing workings:

The best grades sit near the Bonanza mine, meaning lower capex, faster restart, and reduced geological risk.

Strong structure & continuity:

Veins extend up to 1 km with favourable shear/fault systems — exactly what you want for sustainable mining and future depth potential.

Mining restart explicitly supported:

The Board and Qualified Person state clearly that Bonanza has the required grades for mining to restart. This is no longer a “maybe”.

More upside beyond Bonanza:

High grades south of Bonanza point to 1–2 additional mine sites, adding growth optionality beyond Bonanza and Morrocota.

Underground samples ongoing:

34 underground samples already taken, with 117 more planned. These refine mine planning — they are not a prerequisite to start mining.

Bottom line:

This RNS materially de-risks the restart, confirms economic grades, validates historic data, and adds upside. The explorer → producer transition is now firmly supported by evidence.

WOW!!!!

I’m expecting an RNS next week and several RNS updates throughout the month. Not just a single announcement, unless the company chooses to release a comprehensive ALL-IN-ONE update. LOL!!!

I do expect them to deliver on what they’ve been communicating.

You post when there’s something meaningful to say. Right now, NTVO is clearly working hard and delivering steady, tangible progress.

Like everyone else, I’m keen to see the key milestones achieved this month:- contractors formally signed off, assay results from the samples, visible progress at the processing plant, and ultimately a confirmed mining start date announced via RNS.

That said, mining is not easy. It’s physically demanding, technically complex, and when done properly, it takes time. Take a moment to consider what this actually involves,, working underground in tough conditions, confined spaces, and often at high temperatures, day after day. Meaningful progress in this industry simply doesn’t happen overnight.

Some online critics comment as if they fully understand these challenges. In reality, many have no life experience at all. It’s easy to voice opinions from behind a keyboard, it’s far harder to appreciate the realities of running a mining operation.

Rushing the process benefits no one. Patience is essential when investing in this sector, and the focus should remain on the company itself and the direction it’s heading. As long as NTVO continues to move forward positively, I’m happy to keep adding on dips and remain patient. I believe that, in time, that patience will be rewarded very handsomely.

For this reason, I think it’s an excellent idea for the company to keep shareholders updated via X.com. I’ve shared this view with the board on several occasions.

I believe that once the board is on site, it will be very positive news. They’ll be able to meet the workforce directly, access the mine firsthand, and make quicker, more informed decisions. As a result, the flow of news should increase over the coming weeks.

DYOR! GLA!

Gold could surge past $6,000 if China moves to take Taiwan.

I believe this could happen as early as this year or next. In my view, the current actions of the US are giving China the justification it needs to pursue Taiwan. The world is changing very fast!

This is why I believe gold is the best investment right now, and that gold stocks, like NTVO, are where big money is likely to be made this year and next if the BOD get things right.

I don’t care what some posters say here. I’m investing in a gold bull market, and that isn’t going to change overnight. Look at the bigger picture!!

Have a lovely evening!

ice!

Lol!!!

Stocks don’t just jump to 1p/2p/3p in a single week. Mining isn’t a quick-flip business. It’s physical, methodical work and real progress takes time. If you are looking for instant moves, they might be better suited to crypto rather than a developing mining company.

My short-term view is mid-February. I’d like to see us trading in the 1p–2p range by then. We could push toward 3p depending on news flow, but I’d already be very happy with anything above 1p.

Ranger104uk

It hasn’t even been three months yet but you have already doubled your posting activity here 😄

The BOD are making steady progress, and once the next updates land, the story will speak for itself.

I’ve had a very busy few days so haven’t been on here much but honestly I don’t understand why some people are selling at this stage. Buying and selling is a normal part of the market, of course, but we’ve got a lot of transformational news still due and everything appears to be moving toward restart as planned.

Things always tend to slow over Christmas, but activity should now start picking up again and I’m expecting a meaningful RNS before long. I’ve been buying for a while and, between me and my sister, we now hold what I’d consider a very decent position here. I prefer not to move above 3% as it attracts unnecessary attention, so I’m happy where we are and prepared to stay patient and see this through.

There are clearly far fewer sellers in the 0.5p–0.6p range now after todays TR1. The next time we break back above this zone, I fully expect the move to carry through toward 0.8p–1.0p.

This kind of consolidation is completely normal — weak hands sell, stronger hands accumulate. I was buying above 0.5p last week myself (some of my buys were around 0.56p–0.57p), so I’m not remotely concerned by short-term fluctuations.

My focus is where this goes over the coming weeks and months. If NTVO executes and transitions into production, I see no reason why this shouldn’t re-rate toward a £20m+ market cap in time.

Are people not watching what’s happening in the world? Things are changing fast. Global tensions are rising, geopolitics are heating up, and uncertainty is everywhere. Things are getting serious.

Ask yourself one simple question: what does gold do in environments like this?

Silver is already flying. Gold is firmly in a bull market.

Meanwhile, NTVO is entering a critical phase. We are due multiple material updates this month, and I have zero interest in being out of this stock for even a second.

News expected / logically due:

• Mining contractor appointment & mobilisation – the clearest signal that mining is imminent

• Confirmation of mining restart timeline – the true transition from explorer → producer

• Assay results from ~60 surface trench samples and underground galleries

• Processing plant update – readiness, planning, or refurbishment progress

• Operational update confirming mine readiness following completed rehab & QA/QC

Once the market fully believes mining has started — contractor signed, equipment moving, operations underway — this will re-rate fast.

I’m positioned — and staying positioned.

Stocks move in WAVES! Markets constantly adjust. If we move up too fast, we’ll consolidate. When we pull back, we move higher again. That’s just how markets work.

The key is doing your own research. If you’re unsure, ask questions. Even email the Board. Invest only what you’re comfortable with and let conviction guide you, not past noise.

i have one simple rule: NEVER fight a bull market.

And as they say "A rising tide lifts all boats".

12 posts today from AIMinvestor22 and 10 from ranger104uk — nearly 40% of all messages here. Crazy!!

It’s genuinely puzzling how much time these two spend here posting here while having no position. The constant fear-mongering says more about the posters than the company. Maybe they should channel all their energy into writing a scare book for childerns -something to stop them buying too much sugary foods 😄.

At times you do wonder whether it’s even two people or just one very busy individual with split personality disorder and multiple accounts 😄😄

Most investors focus their energy on companies they actually own or are seriously researching.

Just background noise from these TWO still fighting battles they already lost 😄😄😄.

I'm Lovin' It!!!

Seriously tempted to add to my position here!

Please understand this:- History provides context, not direction!!

Yes, prices are measured against previous closes. But markets don’t invest in what was. They price what they believe will happen next . Markets value what they expect in the future.

Being up or down tells you where you’ve been. Valuation is about where the business is going. That’s why execution, progress and delivery matter far more than endlessly revisiting old price levels.

And of course the future requires funding. The relevant question is on what terms and for what purpose. Securing funding that moves the company toward production is fundamentally different from funding just to survive.

Context matters. Obsession with the past doesn’t. That’s why I keep saying you two are stuck in the past, ignoring the current and future prospects.

If screenshots are circulating for comedy, that probably says more about the audience than the content!! I’m here to discuss the company, not to entertain Telegram groups. LOL!!

You’re often the first to post and the last to stop, which to me suggests more noise than substance. Repeating the same points and jumping to conclusions doesn’t strengthen an argument — it just "fills space". That's all you do here!

Dismissing updates as “a security guard in a hard hat” misses the point entirely. Those posts signal on-site activity, preparation and momentum. Progress in mining doesn’t arrive in one dramatic RNS; it comes in stages.

Being “90% down” is HISTORY !! The PAST!! You are still stuck there. lol. What matters now is execution. The BOD is clearly pushing toward progress and production, and when they deliver, sentiment will shift quickly.

In the end, facts and execution will decide this, not sarcasm or posting volume!!

Have a lovely day AIM and RANGER :)

Yes, unsecured funding!! Which in itself tells you the lender sees upside rather than downside. If this were as risky as some suggest, that funding simply wouldn’t exist.

As for share count, dilution only matters if it’s not creating value!! If funding is used to move the business forward, generate cash flow and build assets, shareholders aren’t “carrying the can” — they’re backing growth. The real question is what the money is being used for, not just headline numbers.

And on the past — yes, last year. Markets price the future, not nostalgia. Gold isn’t at $2,000 anymore, sentiment has shifted, and companies positioned correctly will benefit. Ignoring that doesn’t make it go away.

Some posters ( ranger104uk & AIMinvestor22) on this BB seem more focused on constant posting than on analysing the current facts. When people are posting dozens of times a day ( > 20 times yesterday), it often says more about noise than insight. They aren't looking at the current facts and seem stuck in the past when gold was trading below $2,000.

Ask yourself a simple question: why would NTVO secure $2 million in unsecured funding? No lender does that unless they believe meaningful upside and strong cash-flow potential are coming. That level of confidence only comes after a detailed business plan, serious due diligence, and a management team committed to execution.

The past is irrelevant if you can’t recognise when the landscape has fundamentally changed. The market moves forward — whether some posters choose to or not.

DYOR! GLA!!!

Traders will trade — good luck to them. But the real money is made by investors, because we don’t miss the major move.

I don’t care about short-term noise. I’ll happily buy any dips. This entire move so far has been in anticipation of news. The key RNS hasn’t landed yet, but we all know it’s coming — likely end of this week or early next week. When it does, that’s when the real re-rating begins.

We are due multiple material updates this month, and I have zero interest in being out of this stock for even a second.

News expected / logically due:

Mining contractor appointment & mobilisation – the clearest signal mining is imminent

Confirmation of mining restart timeline – transition from explorer → producer

Assay results from trenches (~60 surface samples) and underground galleries

Once the market fully believes mining is starting — contractor signed, equipment moving, operations underway — this will re-rate fast. People anchored in the past will be left chasing.

I’m positioned and staying positioned.

Why sell when the party hasnt even started!!!!

For small AIM gold companies like NTVO, the biggest valuation step-change comes when they move from explorer to producer. Explorers are priced on potential and sentiment; producers are valued on cash flow, ounces mined and direct leverage to the gold price.

Right now, NTVO sits at just over a £3m market cap, which is firmly at the lower end of explorer-level valuation. Historically on AIM, companies making the transition to even early-stage production often re-rate into the £20–50m range — sometimes higher — simply by crossing into production. That re-rating often begins before first revenue, once mining is confirmed.

NTVO is well positioned for that transition:

Historic high-grade Bonanza mine

Existing underground infrastructure already rehabilitated

Low-capex restart

Strong gold price environment

~£2m++ cash on hand, no immediate funding pressure

Clear, methodical progress toward contractor mobilisation and mining restart!

DYOR!! GLA!

I believe NTVO is materially undervalued if mining starts this month. Gold is up $110 today and we are firmly in what looks like the strongest gold bull market we’ve ever seen.

In that environment, a company transitioning from "explorer" to "producer" is exactly where you want to be. I’m very comfortable with my investment here and continue to like the risk–reward.

As the saying goes: “A rising tide lifts all boats.”

For small AIM gold companies like NTVO, the biggest valuation step-change comes when they move from explorer to producer. Explorers are priced on potential and sentiment; producers are priced on cash flow, ounces mined and gold price leverage.

Right now, NTVO sits at just over a £2.5m market cap, which is firmly explorer-level valuation. Historically on AIM, explorers often sit at £2–10m market caps, while even early-stage producers re-rate into the £20–50m range, sometimes much higher, simply by crossing into "production". That’s before any meaningful scale-up!!

NTVO is well positioned for this transition: historic high-grade mine, existing underground infrastructure, low capex restart, strong gold price environment, and importantly ~£2m++ cash with no immediate funding pressure!! The recent updates show methodical progress toward contractor appointment, mine readiness and restart.

This is why the market tends to re-rate ahead of first revenue. once mining is confirmed, the valuation framework changes. Those still anchoring to explorer metrics risk missing what typically happens at this stage.

DYOR!! GLA!
